Ive started the build of my new S2.
Shocks: The quality control is appalling, the worst Ive seen.
First the circlips are far too big, so big they would just fall off. I found some TRF circlips, they fit perfectly.
The thread on 1 of the shock shafts is really screwd up. Not stripped, but the threaded part is alot smaller in diameter than the other shafts, so the ball cup thingy just slips straight off. Lucky I had a spare shaft from a another car near enough in size .

If this was a someone who didnt have a bunch of spares from other cars, they would be totally screwed.
Is this what to expect from an $80 car ? I guess for that price i could have bought 2 and had spares.

The setup sheet in the manual is blank.
Where do a find a default setup , or a does anyone have a setup sheet for LOW GRIP ashfeft , rubber wheels, 21.5T

The build continues. Ive ordered some alu bulkheads....just because ..
Cheers
I will start building my shocks shortly, hopefully the parts are all ok.
